Just to refresh memories my bug report is:

21-Aug-2008 12:48 AM Peter Collinson:
Summary:
If I screen share from my laptop to my main machine - I cannot get any  
control characters through to X apps on the main machine. It looks as  
if screen sharing is sending incorrect[NSEvent modifiers] with the  
keypress... (diagnosis courtesy of Jeremy Huddlestone). The X server  
on the target machine version X11 2.3.1 release candidate 1.

Steps to Reproduce:

1)	Install the new release of X11 on the target machine
2)	Open an xterm window
3)	Screen share from another machine into the target machine
4)	Select the xterm window - and press Control-C
5)	Observe the character 'c' appearing in the window
6)	Now start xev on the target machine and press 'Control' and 'c'

there is some more in the report whcih diagnoses the problem.

Well.................... I've just had  a response:

Engineering has determined this issue behaves as intended based on the  
following information:

This is an issue in your vncviewer application.


To which I have replied:

But.. my vncviewer application is provided by Apple - it's screen  
sharing from the Finder - and exactly what I was hoping you would fix.


Can you apply some sense Jeremy??
